Why is it said to be for developpers and have a 16/9 screen?! Is Apple the only one to understand dev needs (screen needs at least)?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Spacebar/pgdwn is a harsh context break for me. There's no continuity like a book or touch screen
> harsh context break for me. There's no continuity like a book more than a page turn? I find the continual swiping distracting. And it's a much more complex motion (akin to a page turn) and must be done more frequently than paing. A tap of the space bar is about the simplest motion, and (except in cases of bad page design) gives a clean "start at top for next page" rather than trying to figure out where on the scree…
Yes, a page turn with a book gives you a very specific place to continue. Spacebar or page down doesn't.
Anyone know what WiFi cards they're using this time? The original ones used Broadcom, which sucked on Linux. The DE versions briefly switched to Intel cards, which were great, and have built-in support in the Linux kernel. Then they switched to some off-brand wifi cards called Killer for the later lines.
I regret buying a maxed out XPS 13 a year and a half ago. My list of problems: * Coil whine * Noisy fans * Heat issues * USB-C port has a bad pin (only works in one orientation with pressure) * Charging port inconsistently charges * Bad cell in the battery, so it suddenly shuts off without warning when on battery The charging issues started just around the 12 month mark, so I quickly sent to a repair center under war…
Dan, I apologize for your experience. If you ever run into something like this again, besides contacting support directly, you can ping @dellcarespro on twitter and, if its related to the developer edition or project Sputnik you can loop me in @barton808. thanks!
It might be worth your team's while addressing these perceptions in some way. I don't know what to suggest (your job not mine!) other than chiming in now and then in places like HN, but it might merit some thought on your part.
One thing that reduces consumer risk when buying Apple is their genuinely frictionless returns policy. It really is feasible to buy if you're unsure & just return within a couple of weeks, no questions asked. I haven't looked, but imagine Dell's terms are similar. If so, this might be worth highlighting.

Why can't I get 16gb ram and have a 1080p screen? Is the touchpad still terrible? Does it still have coil whine?

I don't need the touchscreen, but it's the only way to get 16GB of RAM in the US. Really, Dell, this is totally your doing. Same with that coil whine. I thought you had sorted that out after the Latitude I bought fifteen years ago.
